Integra quietly launches DBS-6.9 Blu-ray player at CEDIA: hands-on

If you'll recall, Integra surprised at last year's CEDIA by trotting out its DHS-8.8 HD DVD player; this year, the company has quietly (silently, in fact) released its plainly styled DBS-6.9 Blu-ray deck. While the design may not suit your fancy, it's far from being the ugliest BD player at the Expo, and reportedly, the Profile 1.1 unit will retail for a buck under $600 whenever it decides to ship. We can already tell you're uninterested based on the price alone, but feel free to peruse the gallery if you're hungry for pics.

My theory on the pricing is that they want people to think when the holiday sales start that the prices are "drastically" cut, driving sales up...

Integra is a high-end brand, designed primarily for custom installers who sell to high-end clients. This is not a mass market product designed for price-first consumers. $600 is reasonable, based on the Integra brand.
